Sokos Hotel Viru has been synonymous with tourists since the beginning of 1970s when it was first built. Over the years the hotel has been revamped several times but has never lost its significance as an imoprtant landmark and one of the best recognized hotels in Tallinn both at home and abroad. Located in the very centre of Tallinn just a few steps from the National Opera and the Old Town and next door to the most popular shopping mall-the Viru Centre.
